Hello everyone, I am making a gaming pc, and I looked at the performance of the R9 280X and it was better than the performance of the GTX 760 (Witch I am getting) but, on NewEgg the reviews of the gtx 760 were better than the R9 280X's.

Does anyone know why? And if so is it worth buying it over the GTX 760.

Here is my build : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dbzP8d


Thanks for the help!

People are more likely to submit reviews if they have bad things to say. Newegg customer reviews are of limited value, unless you find specific patterns in the reviews, such as many DOA units, or other identical complaints. Sometimes bad reviews are for reasons not related to the product itself, like a bad rebate process. Other times, the reviews are due to ignorance, like reporting their systems failed after installation, but not addressing whether the PSU was too small, or if they removed all previous drivers, etc.
